Question

I need to login to one development server to put things on live server.
So processor is like this

• Login to development server.
• Fire Deploy Script
• Deploy script asks for 3 password.
• Followed by ssh pass-phrase password.

I don’t have any other access on development and live server. So I can’t used key-based authentication. as well as I can’t install anything on the server.

Is it possible using expect or any other utility by using that I can automate this ?

I tried using like

spawn ssh deploy
expect_after eof { exit 0 }
expect "# "
send "deploy_to_server <branch_name>\r"
expect eof
expect "*password*"  { send "passworrd" }

Edit

   spawn ssh deploy
    send "deploy_to_server <branch_name>\r"
    expect eof
    expect "*password*"  { send "passworrd\n" }

Answer 1

You missed a line terminator in your send:

expect "*password*"  { send "passworrd\n" }

Apart from that, it seems quite nonsensical to expect eof first and then, without a respawn, wait for a password prompt.
